It doesn't sound like any of those prices are final.
Regardless, why keep my data on some servers I don't control when there's a perfectly good local solution?
First of all: there will definitely be a free tier. The only thing not final is storage and media backup.
Second: local backup will most likely still be an option.
Why do people always hate on new features? Just don't use them if you don't want to
Where did you see that confirmed?
Uhhhh I mean I would assume?
No one is "hating" on this. We're just asking legitimate questions that any other consumer might ask, and suggesting existing solutions for those who don't want to wait 7 years for Signal to eventually implement this feature.
My bad... It wasn't supposed to sound that aggressive.
And to be honest: there is no confirmation for a free tier but I strongly believe (and hope) so because most people nowadays assume everything to be free and if they see Signal not having a free backup plan everyone would go
(I mean people who don't care about privacy and only use signal because their privay-aware friends told them to)
